Device Use

The Hummi Micro-Draw Blood Transfer Device is a blood collection device with a Y-shaped connector attached to a yellow cannula hub (tube). It connects to a catheter to collect small volume blood samples from infants, including premature ones. The collected blood is transferred from the device to a syringe or other container for transport and processing. The device is primarily used in hospitals.

Reason for Recall

Hummingbird Med Devices Inc. is recalling the Hummi Micro-Draw Blood Transfer Device because the Y-shaped connector and the yellow tube may disconnect from each other prior to or during use. This could lead to blood or fluid leakage. Blood or fluid loss may result in serious adverse health consequences, including death.
